The Expedite Request: When a firm feels reason to request an expedite, that firm is asking the Contractors State License Board to place before all other applicants currently in process, the issue of their license. The expedite request, is asking that their license be issued out of turn. Not all states allow applicants to ask for special handling (expeditious handling of their license) of their forms.

We offer this service to accommodate our clients. In fact many clients do not even meet our standards of our review to accept an expedite case. It is not our policy to encourage expedites, but certainly to accommodate our clients need. Expedite requests also requires our office to set a side the normal workload. We must focus on this special need of the client requesting special handling and place all other license activities aside.
